I love how south La guys claim that basket racks are trophies down there. Of course they are. Especially when no patch of woods goes untouched by a pack of dogs and a bunch of coonasses with shotguns.

Some will say the guy was greedy. I can agree with that. I've had moments of weakness and done the same thing. Doesn't make it ok.

And just because it doesnt match someones view of proper herd management or hunting practice, doesnt make it bad or wrong.

I wont join a dog club, but if you do and expect a majority of members to vote for quality deer management practices I dont know what to tell you.

Hunting and fishing is supposed to be fun. One mans bream bed haul is anothers Lake Fork 11 pounder.

Well, the limit is three bucks a year, as long as he didn't exceed that he's ok in my book. Maybe a little greedy, but he was "in the zone" that week.

I understand you believe strongly in herd management. That's one of the new things about modern deer hunting that I have not adapted to, yet. Although, this season was the first time I ever let a buck walk that would have been an easy, standing, clear shot; just because he had a little basket rack.

If the legal limit was two bucks, do you think hunters would focus on mature deer earlier in the season and let more small ones walk? How many hunters actually kill three bucks in a season regularly? I've only done that once.
